BY REV. II. IL. HOWARD.

Socrates, like his father, in early life was
a sculptor. At the age of 80, however,
we are told, he threw down his tools and
resolved henceforth, instead of the earthly
art of turning marble into the similitude
of men, to engage in the more heavenly
calling of turning men into the similitude
of God.
And who can fail to see that in thus
abandoning his mallet and pick for the
teachers chair this ancient worthy was,
indeed, becoming an artist in a hardly
less real, strictly speaking, in a tair higher
sense than before The essential differ
ence between his former and his present
vocation is that, whereas he is now deal
ing with living men. Formerly his aim
was to fashion into some form perishable
matter to the imperishable spirit, his pas
sion is to fashion into some form of truth
or duty the immortal mind. Judged by
whatever standard, it must be admitted
that the highest is that which consistent,
not SO much in given coloring however
brilliant, or form, however graceful or
exquisite to any perishable materials, rs
III quickening dead souls, In adjoining hu-
man character, in shaping human beings
after the pattern or into the likeness OF
Jesus Christ. And what, verify, can we'll
be nobler than this art which thus has fcr
its object the building not of cathedrals but
of manhood; the restoration, not of a few
fallen temples, or classic marbles or
frescoes. but the defaced and fallen ar
chitecture of the human soul the twining
yet again of something beautiful to see,
and grateful to the soul around the crumb-
ling affairs and broken arches of the desc
late temple of the human heart.
1t may be noble, as the poet sings,
TO send the Doric column to the skies
Pie towers on towers, and build up mauso-
leums
To human vanity.
To make the marble speak, the canvas glow,
The heart leap into eoquencr, or trip
To the light numbers OF the poets reed"
This may be noble, in its way, and
grand but is it not nobler far is it not

action, aims and purposes, COMFORTING

hope where there was no hope To pour

Crazy Jane Architecture.
New Haven News

We once heard a witty fellow some years
ago describe a certain new-built house as
Queen Anne in front and Crazy Jane be
hind" He but anticipated an architecture
al movement which was to bring Crazy
Jane to the front as we'll as leave her in
the rear of our modern houses. 1t is in
deed amazing to see the new style of
dwellings that modern fashion is affecting
They have more towers and plnnacles than

cohesive believe the Italian "loggia" is
the fashionable term-and a mass of gin
gerbread work that affects the eye very
much as does one OF the antique bed quilts
of our grandmothers, color and all. The
style must, of course, have its run, like the
Grecian bend, the pull-back, the colossal
hustle, high hat or any other freak of
fashion. But it is as certain to die away
soon as any ldlosyn Grassy OF bad taste I;

original owner unless he sells it while

its heyday
The new tangled type of house archi-
lecture moreover not only has its outward
offense to the eye, but its inward otfen-e
to convenience. Its rooms are, to Use a
popular term, 'catty cOrnered" shapeless
in design, and almost impossible to adapt
to any theory Of rational decoration. They
are small and without that airy aud breezy
quality that is the prime feature of the
well constructed house. The windows are
| narrow and deep set reminding one often
of the narrow slit through which prison
er in his cell gets his small ration of light
and air; and from stinted doorstep TO
bedizened pinnacle everything seems mar
row, contracted and "squeezy." Yet these
| fashionable homes cost money and too
much. Every little angle and strip of lat
tice work, every intricacy of sash or blind
or pane adds its dollars to the final ac-
count. And after the costly home is built
it seems, after all, but a flashy and cheap
structure by the side of some old fashion

some sensible old fellow generations ago,

AT ST. PAUL's CHURCH.

The usual full service was held at st.
Paul's church yesterday morning Rev.
J. i. Bliss officiating. The subject of his
discourse was the closing scene at the cru
citiXion, with especial reference to the dy-
ing words of Jesus. The speaker said
that the last words of eminent men are
often treasured up as having peculiar
significance, but the dying words of the
Saviour have for us great worth. He
alone knew the meaning of the sacrifice
which he was making. The prayer,
Father, forgive them" was offered just
as it was to teach to us the Importance of
forgiveness. Aside from its other lessons
the Lords declaration to the malefactor
at his side gives us glimpse of the here

can be no doubt that it is a place
Of blessedness. That this place was not
Heaven is distinctly taught elsewhere in
the Bible. His soul did not go at once tO
the highest reward but remained in that
place where dwell the souls of the
righteous while awaiting the coming OF
the Lord. There Is scarcely more touch
ing incident in the Scriptures than the
address of the Son to His honored mother
Il is noticeable that He did not promise
her divine support after his departure
he did this evidently to show that she had
claim merely on his earthly nature If she
possessed the attributes which the church
OF Rome ascrlbes to her we can hardly
conceive Of her holding the former rela
ton to Him. His exclamation of thirst

Why Two Women Rage.

Worth has committed the fault, not
to be forgiven by woman, of dupli-
eating ball-dresses for two leading So
ciety women at the capital. 1t all
came out at the British legation ball
recently, and the little scene was
funny one. The first of the two to
enter the ballroom was a lady from
Philadelphia, the daughter of million
aTe in Congress. Her dress elected
general admiration, and the remark,
mo doubt of that being a Worth
dress, went in little buzz around the
room. A few moments later a New
York woman appeared in dress of the
same lovely maize color, the exact
color and fashioned as much like the
other dress as two peas. They met,
and there were lOoks-it need not be
said they were looks of astonishment,
disappointment, and polite chagrin.
They saw the explanation in the dupli-
Gated gowns, and no words We're neces-
sary. But women usually find words
necessary if only to relieve their feel
ings. Il hope-you-haven't a-pink
gasped the New York
woman, family, seized with the horrible
foreboding that Worth might be wicked
enough to duplicate pink as well as
yellow. O-I-have," replied the
Philadelphia woman in tones equally
faint and despairing. When they had
sufficiently recovered to talk it over
calmly, the truth was told, and they
knew the pink dresses were also dupli-
Gates. Fortunately, as third party
said, .'they are awfully rich, and can
afford to throw away the dresses if they
choose" But they are very mad

The Art of Mind-Reading,

Sebastian George, the amateur "mind
reader" in a letter to the Boston
Herald, describing his remarkable gift,
gives the following as his theory as to
how mind-reading is accomplished:
When my subject sees an object it is
not the eye that sees, but the brain,
using the eye as a conductor. The
more vividly anything is pictured be-
fore the eye the greater the tremor of
the brain, and the more certain the
mind of its object. The tremor estab-
lished in my subjects brain travels
throughout the system, and would evi-
IDENTIFY go out into the atmosphere, or
ether, perhaps to influence things we
know nothing of, but here the mind
reader steps in and receives the electric
current fOr this | believe it isl into
his nerves, it travels to his brain, and
there again the object is reproduced.
With me it is certainly very dim, but
the real object is pictured there, and
see with another's eyes. Then, with
out contact, | receive the tremor
through the conducting ether, and
when my nerves are in their most sus-
ceptible mood, or on par with INV
subjects, | would be just as sure of
success. There is no supernatural
power about it whatever; it is but "A
plain, common-sense thing, which,
however, We can not quite fathom. If
a person is not looking at an object,
but making a mental picture of it, of
course the idea gathered by the
thought-revealer is not so distinct as
when his eyes are fixed upon it, as IL
natural consequence. When an object
is hidden, there is double work to do
if the mind-reader has had no previous
knowledge of what the article is to be.

The MarnOSet.

A correspondent of the Washington
Star, writing of Mrs. Cleveland's mar
noset, says: l hope that the fair mis-
tress of this new pet will derive as
much pleasure from it as friend of
mine in Brooklyn, N. Y, did from one
of these amusing little creatures. 1t
had the freedom of the drawing-room
and library, being never Gagged or in
any way debarred of its liberty, Its
coziest retreat was Just inside the brass
fender, where it would lie for hours in
winter before the blazing fire. 1t was
wonderfully curious, peeping into
every new thing and turning over the
contents of its mistress work-basket, to
perch on her shoulder with her warm
cheek close to its head, or her caress-
ing hand upon its back, was its great
delight. 1t loved bits of figs, raisins,
nuts, and apples, but the sight of fly
set itwild with desire, and even the
semblance, a tiny scrap of black rag
held between the fingers, would excite
great eagerness for the possession. A
friend sent little willow cradle, with
miniature blankets, pillows, and cover
let, for its use, and at night, as well as
when disposed to take a nap, it crept
under the soft wool and cuddled down,
as contented as a child with its resting
place. 1t recognized the voices of the
members of the household, and seemed
to love above all the tender endear-
ments OF its mistress, who paid it spe-
cial attention. Accustomed to trOpi-
cal cline, it is very difficult to pre-
serve these delicate creatures in our
variable temperature. They feel every
change, and need to be watched care
fully if one would keep them alive and
healthy.
